CAUC UAVs are Chinese [[UAV]]s developed by [[Civil Aviation University of China]] (CAUC), some of which have entered service with various Chinese governmental establishments.

==XC-1 Flying Shuttle==
XC-1 Flying Shuttle (Fei-Suo or Feisuo, 飞梭) is a very little known [[experimental aircraft|experimental UAV]] developed by CAUC to study feasibilities of submarine launched UAVs. XC-1 Flying Shuttle made its public debut in October 2012 at the 5th Chinese Innovation Cup future aircraft design competition held in [[Beijing]]. Unlike most entries of the competition, most of which are merely proposals or futuristic dreams, XC-1 Flying Shuttle is one of the few entries at the competition that are actually practical enough to be build in the present, and has at least one prototype completed for further testing. XC-1 Flying Shuttle is designed by a team of CAUC including Xi An (袭安), Chen Hao-Ming (陈明浩) and Tang Qi-Dong (唐启东). XC-1 Flying Shuttle is also referred sometimes as Flying Shuttle XC-1.<ref name="CAUC">{{cite web| url=http://war.163.com/12/1024/10/8EIVM3VV00011232_2.html | title=CAUC UAVs | accessdate=2012-10-24 }}</ref>

==Scorpius 200==
Scorpius (Tian-Xie or Tianxie, 天蝎) 200 is a fixed wing UAV developed by CAUC and it make its public debut in October 2008 in [[Hangzhou]] when it entered the competition for Aerospace and Aviation Models used for scientific research, and won a first place award for structural manufacture. Scorpius 200 is intended to explore more efficient method and better techniques that can be applied in the production of UAVs, and the experience gained has been applied to other UAVs developed by CAUC.

Inflatable flying wing made its public debut in October 2012 at the 5th Chinese Innovation Cup future aircraft design competition held in [[Beijing]]. Unlike most entries of the competition, most of which are merely proposals or futuristic dreams, Inflatable flying wing is one of the few entries at the competition that are actually practical enough to be build in the present, and has at least one prototype completed for further testing. Inflatable flying wing is designed by a team of CAUC including Chen Lei (陈雷), Song Guan-Min (宋冠民), Zhang Hui (张辉), Hu Ji-Heng (胡基恒), Shen Jing-Si (沈静思). Inflatable flying wing UAV is designed to explore the feasibility of an inflatable UAV that can be deployed by a single solder. An UAV has to be small enough and light enough to enable deployment by a single soldier, but reduction is size and weight often would also often reduce the payload, range and endurance. Inflatable UAV might provide a better compromise in that it is compact and light when deflated, and once inflated, it increases in size without adding any significant weight, and thus providing better performance to smaller [[micro air vehicle]]s. The complete name of Inflatable flying wing hence is Single Soldier Inflatable Type Flying Wing UAV (Dan-Bing-Shi Chong-Qi-Xing Wu-Ren-Ji, 单兵式充气型飞翼无人机)<ref name="CAUC"/>

==Setout==
'''Setout''' (Qi-Hang or Qihang, 启航) UAV is a Chinese [[UAV]] developed by [[Civil Aviation University of China]] (CAUC). Setout UAV is in [[twin boom|twin-boom]] configuration and has tricycle landing gear. Proplusion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine installed at the rear end of the fuselage. Setout is designed by using [[CATIA]], and the fuselage is constructed of [[balsa wood]] untilizing laser [...] technique for ease of mass production and lowering production cost. Composite material was extensively used in other part of the aircraft, usually by forming the frames and then added layer of epoxy to it. It is worth noting that series production of Setout UAV is not performed by its developer CAUC, but instead, CAUC contracts out to other [[original equipment manufacturer]]s for production.
